Water Margin Survival

"Ah!"

Lu Jiang, the prefect of Lintun who was buried in the pile of official documents, put down the vermilion writing brush in his hand, took out a handkerchief and wiped his nasal cavity, strange to say, something happened these few days, obviously he didn't have a cold, but he kept hitting every now and then Sneezing, could it be that someone is thinking about himself?

Seeing this, the guard at the gate stepped forward to make a cup of strong tea for the prefect, and reminded: "My lord, it will be noon soon, you didn't sleep all night last night, you should go to bed after dinner!"

"I can't sleep anymore! I have to go down to the county for a walk after dinner. Another group of immigrants came with the boat this morning. Now that the weather is cold, I want to go over to see how the winter clothes are being prepared in Dongxi County! "

General Lu stretched his waist. Although he rejected the soldier's offer, he still nodded to this man with satisfaction.I think he went to Liangshan alone at the beginning, but now he not only bears the heavy responsibility of the prefect of a county, sitting in the sacred mansion to realize his life's ambition, but also has companions who guarantee his life, and even a whole commanding soldier is responsible for guarding his life. Compared with the empty time when he had no way to serve the country, his life should not be too fulfilling.

"Just listen to the villain, doze off more or less! Otherwise, you will pass out outside like last time, and Shi Canjun, a soldier of the Guard Mansion Cao, will dismiss me from the military!" The soldier said with a sad face.The last time General Lu fainted at the resettlement site, even the Andong Governor's Mansion in Seoul was alarmed. Hearing that the Deputy Governor personally sent an imperial doctor over, Bing Cao also issued an official document, and even his own soldiers were killed. fall.

"Shi Canjun dismissed your military post before, and then I will recruit you to my county government. Now there is a shortage of people everywhere, I wish Shi Canjun dismissed your military post!" General Lu worked all night and morning.I like to joke a few words with the soldiers to change my mind.

"Young Master, you want to really love the villain. Please show me your hand and let me go back to the Fuhu Army!" Seeing this, the soldiers were really rude, and directly complained: "Everyone said that I couldn't catch up with one step, and I couldn't catch up with every step. If it weren't for the nutrition and injury in Huitian back then, how could he be temporarily arrested and sent to the Laoshizi guard camp? My good brothers are all in the team. I heard that they followed Wudutou and were almost beaten to the edge of the Datong River I, I'm so aggrieved to death!"

"Haha! You boy! Aren't you a single-minded person? When Wu Dutou lifts you up, it's a compliment, but if I, Lu, lift you up, it's not a compliment?" General Lu got up and walked around in the side room, which can be regarded as exercising his muscles.

"Sir, you have never been in the army, and you don't know what kind of feelings we brothers who climbed down from the dead. To tell you the truth, I am now hanging around with these recruits all day, and I am almost suffocating. This soldier is not afraid of General Lu, so he just said truthfully: "There are brothers in our team who have not been transferred to other places. But they all have hard military exploits, and I have all the limbs to occupy the position. I am inferior to others for no reason. You only provoke the ridicule of your comrades in the army!"

"Hey! You have a lot of backbone! Wow, although I have never seen this Wudu head twice, but he can bring out soldiers like you. That is a famous hero..." General Lu was admiring .Suddenly I heard a report from the door: "Someone from the Duhu Mansion is here to ask to see your husband!"

Nowadays, the Koryo Peninsula has already used the pigeon communication. Generally, when there is any important event, the local government will receive the news immediately. This time, there is no sign of the arrival of the Duhu Mansion. General Lu felt very strange, so he sorted it out immediately. Clothes, order the soldiers to open the door.

"Prefect Lu, you have been dismissed!"

The person who came was an official who was about the same age as General Lu. When they met, they didn't even have to exchange pleasantries, and directly announced the decision of the Protectorate with a serious expression.

General Lu didn't say a word.On the contrary, the soldier beside him was very surprised, "What did my husband do? How can he be dismissed? Last night he stayed up all night to give instructions on official documents. No immigrant in the county did not say good things about him!"

People from the Duhu Mansion looked at this little man who interrupted playfully, surprised that he would speak up, and suddenly said: "His affairs are not small, could it be that you are also involved?"

"What am I involved in? It was the order of Wang Lun's brother to send us to protect Lu Xianggong! Lu Xianggong is a good official who is not greedy, and he is a good official who is dedicated to the people. Does the Marshal know that you are messing around like this? I If you want to appeal, appeal to brother Wu Song!" The soldier looked a little excited, although he was very unwilling to stay by General Lu's side, but seeing him in trouble, it was very difficult to accept it in his heart.

"Okay, Ergou! You go out first, no one is allowed to come in without my order! This is an order!" General Lu finally spoke without saying a word, and at the same time gave the visitor a hard look, expressing his heart dissatisfied.

Hearing that it was an order, the soldiers had no choice but to keep their mouths shut. All armies in Liangshan have always followed military orders like a mountain. As a veteran, he did not dare to disobey the order, so he went out angrily.When the visitor saw that the door was closed, he reversed his attitude of refraining from entering, and joked: "See, these big soldiers are better than each other, and the military officers in your county often embarrass you? "

"Liangshanbo builds a country with military force. Of course, the soldiers have morale and righteousness. This is a good thing! If they are all like the old soldiers of the Song Dynasty, who are incompetent and only want to disturb the people, then what is the use of joining Liangshan? Significance?" General Lu obviously did not agree with the visitor's point of view.

"It's good to build a country with force, but it's not enough to rule the country with civility? This is the tone set by the higher-ups now! But when I was the county magistrate, the county lieutenant dared to say to my face what I did wrong and violated something in their team. What is the rule, hey, he is still in the team! Even if I am in the team, then I am his superior officer, at least you should respectfully call me brother!" Come complain.

"He earned it with a knife and a gun. Calling brother is tantamount to trusting his own life. To put it bluntly, we have never fought with him, so why should he obey you? But then again, we yesterday He is just a scholar who just sits and talks about Taoism. Today, he is in charge of a county and a government. Can there be no omissions in governance? Now there are these outspoken officials who point out our omissions for us. Should we thank them?" General Lu Said calmly.

"Yes, today I know why I can only be a county magistrate, but you can be a prefect!" The visitor shook his head and cupped his fists to admit defeat.

General Lu said, with a rare smile, and said: "Master Feng is too self-effacing? You are the long history of the Duhu Mansion, Wen Duhu's right-hand man, complaining about the officials in front of me? By the way, you are also Hanyang County magistrate, how come you have time to come to my remote county?"

"Do you dare to call this a remote frontier county? Anyway, it was Tokyo in Korea back then. Now that immigrants have come, it is so lively that Da Song Xianjun is not here! However, the news here is a bit closed. Now my county magistrate and part-time job are gone. Jia Qiao took the place!"

Feng Xi's words changed a bit later.General Lu could hear it naturally, frowned slightly, and said: "Your county magistrate is already a part-time job, otherwise how could he hold a post in the Protectorate's Mansion? Otherwise, what would Tian Zhi think? By the way, who is this Jia Qiao? "

"Don't mention that Tianyi, the official is not big, but the city is deeper than Wen Duhu! And his benefactor, Chen Wenzhao, is not a good person either! Your examination results are all excellent, but I got a place that is not suitable for me. Comments on the affairs! Although I don’t value this county magistrate, I just can’t swallow this tone!”

Feng Xi acted resentful. It seemed that he had a lot of opinions on Chen Wenzhao, the real prefect who had been his temporary boss. He was not suitable for local affairs. the future of others.

General Lu was silent for a moment, and asked, "How did you know? How did you see what Chen Taishou said!"

"Cats have cat ways, rats have ways of mice, don't worry about these, anyway, Chen Wenzhao can't be wronged!" Feng Xi is a tactful person, and his first reaction is to go forward to make friends with anyone he meets. He felt inexplicably annoyed by the feeling that he had offended Chen Wenzhao, but his future was ruined by this person.It's a pity that there is no one in Seoul to confide in, so why not talk to General Lu now?

"Even as you said, Chen Taishou may have written similar words in the merit test. But the lord did not listen to one side, but asked you to be transferred to Seoul and served as the county magistrate for so long, so I advise you not to Too sensitive. In fact, I also think that you are better suited to work in the Protectorate's Mansion." General Lu persuaded.

"The old man said, 'Don't plan prefectures and counties, don't plan Taiwan provinces'! There is also a saying: The prime minister must start from the prefectures! It is he, Chen Wenzhao, who is ruining my official career, brother Lu!" Feng Xi was annoyed.

"Aren't you in Taiwan now? Why don't you talk about counties and prefectures! The prime minister must be from the prefecture. When I become prime minister, there will be a few incense sticks on my old graves!" General Lu His characteristic is that his eyes are poisonous and his mouth is tricky, and he can often grasp the core of things the fastest.It's just that if the other party is not a friend, he will not speak so openly.

Feng Xi is indeed the least talented person among the six sages in the south of the Yangtze River, and he can't speak hard words in front of General Lu. At the moment, General Lu is so hurt that he can't laugh or cry, and he said after a long while: "You have such a mouth, at least Chen Wenzhao can't stand it when I face it. It's polite!"

"I advise you to respect your seniors. Taishou Chen was the magistrate of the state in the Song Dynasty and enjoyed a high reputation. He was your superior and mine before. You call him by his first name. It's not good to spread the word!" General Lu advised Dao, just saw a trace of disapproval on Feng Xi's face, sighed secretly, and changed the subject: "Who is this Jia Qiao who replaced you as Hanyang county magistrate?"

"Jia Tan's son!" Feng Xi did not introduce Jia Tan's identity, but directly named this person, not just because he was too lazy to say anything out of anger.

Sure enough, General Lu had heard of this person's name. This Jia Qin was one of the most famous water conservancy experts in the Shenzong and Zhezong dynasties. Interested, he asked: "His son was also brought back by the lord? If you have the opportunity, you must go and see him. Maybe his family skills can be useful in Lintun County!"

"You don't need to wait for the opportunity, you pack your things and go to Seoul now!" Feng Xi said suddenly.

"What are you doing in Seoul? Didn't you transfer me to Xuantu County to make room for Qiu Tong?" General Lu found that the matter was somewhat different from his own guess, and he couldn't help being slightly taken aback. After getting the answer from Feng Xi's face, muttered:

"Do you really want to dismiss me?" (To be continued~^~)
